Apple removes iPod Socks from online store

iPod Socks, a cloth accessory that Apple has sold for years to protect its portable music players, have been removed from the company's online store.

A reader alerted AppleInsider to the disappearance of the product on Wednesday. It's unclear exactly when the product was removed from the Apple Store, however a Google search still returns a link to Apple's online store as the first result.

The iPod Socks were first introduced by Apple in 2004. They came in a pack of six colorful sleeves that were meant to hold an iPod of any size, and protect it from scratches.
